Hey guys,

I decided to create this discussion topic because i think i'm getting crazy with this,

almost every day there is an event of terrorism, somone defending a belief and in return he kills a bunch of inocent people.
Like the terrorism events that happened all over France now, in Australia, just see this»  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_2014
Now, am I the only one who thinks that a GIANT BLENDER should be built to EXTERMINATE ALL TERRORISTS?
I live my life trying not to get problems with anyone and then a psycho with no reason kills me? Just to make a point? To defend a belief?
Again, solution must be the GIANT BLENDER.
Please express your opinions about terrorism and how to fight it, without offending mine (opinion), thank you.

 

If only it were as easy as sticking them all in giant blender and watching the carnage unfold...

 

Terrorism can never be fully eradicated. There will always be terrorists no matter what effects are in place to stop them.

Terrorism can never be fully stopped, all we can do is try to prevent them the best that we can.

I mean you can try negotiating with them, but that will never work out. One thing to remember is to never give up.

Do as we did today in Europe, with thousands, millions of people manifesting in the streets (between 1.5 and 1.7 million people just in Paris' streets) to show that we are not scared, that we stand our ground and we will fight for our freedom, that's the best way to fight terrorism.

One of the problems with a giant blender is even if you managed to kill all terrorists, you would end up with more terrorists fighting against the giant blender for its injustices against the terrorists in the blender. I guess you could blend those terrorists as well but then you hit this cycle of blending terrorists and filling out lots of paperwork. I would like to see how a giant Nutri-Ninja (some new fruit blender) handles this though, it's supposed to leave you with a smoother fruit smoothie. In this case it would be smoother terrorist paste. I don't know what the paste would be used for. Maybe as medicine to suppress the need for being a terrorist. (Am I going off topic because I feel like I'm going off topic). The problem is though is once you suppress the terrorists with the paste then there will be no terrorists to blend so then no paste to continue the suppression which results in there being terrorists. Which you could then blend to cure the paste shortage but then you just hit another cycle of suppression - shortage - uprising - blend. You would need to find a way of making the paste artificially as to prevent the shortage. Prevention is better than cure.

 

However this freedom from the terror threat could lead to governments going mad with power as they have the people suppressed as the paste would more than likely suppress any feeling to act against the government other than terrorism such as protesting. This could lead to more a world where the Governments are in control and have the freedom to do what they want without consequence.

 

Anyway back to the topic at hand. When it comes to fighting terrorism you need to remember that these people have found a cause to fight for (Whether it be religious or political) and the only way you can reduce the size of terrorism is to reduce the amount of causes they can fight for. Granted these causes are usually completely insane but they all stem from somewhere that's a bit more 'down to earth'. In my opinion you need to educate people more about there religions so they understand what a jihad actually is and what it means. However you need to also educate those who are against terrorism so they understand that not all Muslims are terrorists and all those usual misconceptions about terrorists can be and are usually racist. Racism will just make things worse. Remember education is everything, Just think about it. Maths, science, politics etc. All stem from education and knowledge.

 

EDIT - Mispelt some words, Google's spell checker gave a false sense of security. How ironic when i'm talking about education and knowledge.

We can never beat terrorism. But by bombing random countries and killing civilians, we are creating more terrorists. Its a never ending cycle.

A blender for all terrorists? Sounds great! 

 

Let's take a minute to define what a terrorist is.

"a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims."

 

And what terrorism is?

"the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims."

 

The fact of the matter is, there are a lot of people (even good guys) who fall under the blanket definition of "terrorists". Every one of these cases has to be handled on an individual level. The rebels in the Ukraine are considered terrorists in some eyes, but are they really? Are they the same breed of terrorist that we see today? No. They are people fighting for their nation and fighting imperialism/nationalism. Were the French-resistance terrorists? Yes. But without them, the Normandy invasion wouldn't have been possible.

 

Some people would even argue that the NYPD's "We're going to stop doing our jobs" could be seen as terrorism. By threatening to remove law enforcement from a community, you are implying there will be violence and you are scaring the public into supporting you. Is that not terrorism?

 

Fact of the matter is, there will always be terrorism. If not the Taliban, then the IRA, the neo-nazis, the Black Panthers, etc...

 

Terror can't succeed unless you let it. Don't be scared by terror.

The only way to successfully remove terrorism would require Genocide of an entire people.

lol what

 

Suggesting genocide, Adolf Hitler's quote in your signature, Mr. Nationalism? Gee, nothing screams "safe" like fascism. Sounds like someone is begging for an Article 15.

 

Not to mention, what type of "people" are you referring to?

While the extremism that leads to terrorist action can never be completely eliminated, things can be done to attempt to discourage such behavior in the future. The Western world needs to make serious changes to policy regarding the Middle East. Staunch support of nations like Israel and Saudi Arabia needs to stop. Israel can not only handle themselves, but by refusing to distance ourselves from them, we attract the negative attention they create. And considering that the Saudi royal family financially backs extremist groups, I do not think we need to have military bases in Saudi Arabia or provide military aid to them. On the whole, the West needs to unplug from the Middle East. Wars, drone strikes, and the like only kill innocent people and turn the population of the region against the West.

Nothing screams "retarded" like idiotic assumptions based on given circumstances.

 

Edit: Religion.

The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists. I remember a politician saying something in the constitution says that we can't make deals with terrorists.

Okay, that really doesn't answer my question. (And what circumstances are you referring to?)

 

"Edit: Religion"

 

Religion what? Religious people? Everyone who has an affiliation with religion or anyone who belongs to a specific religion?

Almost every aspect of terrorism has the involvement of religion. Imagine a world where all religion vanished, 100% gone permanently.

Then there would be less excuses to join this groups and people wouldn't have to put up with their crap, plus it would be easier to find out their intentions.

Okay, so you are suggesting that to combat terrorism we kill everyone who believes in religion?

 

And yeah, while religion causes tons of problems, it's also one of the very few things that can bring people together. To suggest that we live in a world without religion is to suggest we live in a communist/fascist state. If we're going to look at things from a historical standpoint, without religion, concepts of philosophy would never have existed and there would never have been religion to question. The act of questioning religion has made massive strides in science and will continue to do so. Religion and the questioning of religion is the backbone of creative spirit.

 

No thanks, I'm not a religious person, however I'd rather die a terrorist than live in a world like that.

No I am not suggesting that we commit an act of genocide. Again, that's retarded.

 

How exactly does a world without religion suggest a communist state? Communism and religion have nothing to do with each other. With my provided example, it is assumed that you view the world at it's current state if it were without religion. If all religion vanished right this second, how would the world be? Not if there wasn't any religion to begin with.

For the record, you have suggested acts of genocide. 

 

For your first point, communist nations have no established religion. Marx stated that religion was the enemy of all man kind, hence his goals for uprooting religion from society in the communist manifesto.

 

Secondly, your suggestions aren't feasible or measurable in any way. What if religion disappeared from the world right now? Well, I don't know, what would happen? Is everyone's mind going to be whipped where they instantly forget everything? Regardless, attempting to create a non-diverse, integrated group is a horrible idea. "Let's start getting rid of customs and ways of life. Everyone should be like us!"

 

Trying to uproot religion is pointless. You will never stop people from reading the Torah. You will never stop people from reading the Bible. You'll never be able to regulate religion, you'll never be able to stop people from believing in something.

 

Even if you manage to remove all religion, there will still be those who ask questions that cannot be answered.

I can see that you are not understanding my point. I'm too tired to argue any further right now, I'll respond again later this week with more arguments. Have a nice night.

So because Marx was an atheist, atheism = communism? I'm an atheist, but not a communist. Or a fascist.

 

Why do you seem to think the world will go to shit without religion? Scientific progress can move forward at a faster rate, societies around the world would be more understanding of each other, etc... And just because the answer to a question isn't known or currently capable of being known, to me, doesn't indicate that the magic sky fairy from the book of desert scribbles is the answer.
